Just before the short program competition, Mirai, Karen and Bradie all sat down for a press conference where the younger two opened up about how Mirai has inspired them on, and off the ice — especially with that triple axel.

“When she nailed the triple axel, I jumped up screaming,” Bradieremembered, speaking of the team event where Team USA earned the bronze medal. “It was just incredible.”

Karen added, “She will inspire so many younger skaters that the impossible is possible. I think that I see a future [where] all of us could potentially have a triple axel as long as we have the grit like Mirai.”

Mirai joked moments later, “I’m available for lessons.”

But the triple axel isn’t just what Karen and Bradie like about Mirai.

“Just kind of watching how [Mirai] interacts with people and the way she handles herself,” Bradie adds. “I must confess to trying to be a little bit like her.”

The ladies’ free skate will take place Thursday, February 22nd on NBC.

Bradie Tennell made her Olympic debut over the past weekend at the figure skating team event with a flawless program.

Now, before she makes her second debut this week, JJJ has a bunch of fun facts about the US National Champion.

“I can remember, you know, dreaming about it and being like, ‘Mom, I wonder what it would be like to march in the Opening Ceremonies with all those athletes and the cameras, and ‘oh, my goodness, how cool that would be,’” Bradie shared just after the US Championships about going to the Olympics.

She adds, “And now I get to go live it. It’s crazy.”

Here are 5 Fast Facts about Bradie:

Bradie, 20, is a super fan of Supernatural and even got a shout out from the cast upon making the Olympic team.

She’s not a morning person: “I love nothing more than to sleep in.”

She’s a real life Cinderella: “For as long as I can remember, I have loved Cinderella. My music and outfits have been inspired by the story.”

She has rituals: “When I step on any ice, I take my left guard off and step on the ice then take my right guard off.”

The 20-year-old figure skater (already a bronze medalist with the team event) is gearing up to compete in the Ladies’ Figure Skating events next week, but took some time out to talk about her obsession with the show.

She admits that she only started really watching in season 9: “I’ve been a fan of the show for much longer than that, but was too scared to watch it when I was younger.”

“I fell in love with Supernatural because of the characters,” she tells Changing Channels. “I just love how the brothers would do literally anything to keep the other safe, and how that is both a positive and a negative in the storyline.”

Bradie adds, “I also have two brothers myself, so I think Sam and Dean remind me of them a bit. Plus, they’re just so funny.”

She also opened up about getting that supporting tweet from the cast.

“I had just finished working out and went to check my phone and it was blowing up because so many of my friends were sending the picture to me,” Bradie recalls. “I thought it was so cool that they took time out of their day to post that for me. It literally made my week.”
